Mani, Ali, and you EE people

I was looking at the PIII data sheet and came across interesting info. When the 1GHz PIII came out, I remember you folks saying something about its T junction temperature of being a pitifully low 60 deg C, and how that is pretty bad. What does that measure again? Something like max temperature the case can be for the processor to run?

The data sheet says that with the new stepping, the 1GHz's Tj is 70 deg C, vs 60 deg C previously, vs 80 deg C for 866MHz and slower processors. The 933's is 75 deg C, and the 1.13GHz's is barely better than the first 1GHz - 62 deg C.

Also, the 1.13GHz PIII's voltage has to be jacked up even further than what Anand and Tom reported - it requires 1.8 volts with the new stepping. The 1GHz processor requires 1.7V.

With this data, how much faster do y'all think Intel can push the PIII on the current process? TWY?
